                 Yocto Project releases are tested against the stable Linux
                 distributions in the following list.
-                The Yocto Project is not supported on "rolling releases" whose
-                frequent changes could break functionality.
-                Attempting to use the Yocto Project on any Linux distribution
-                that is not on the following list puts you into untested
-                territory.
+                The Yocto Project should work on other distributions but
+                validation is not performed against them.
                 Refer to
                 <ulink url='&OE_HOME_URL;/index.php?title=OEandYourDistro'>OE and Your Distro</ulink> and
                 <ulink url='&OE_HOME_URL;/index.php?title=Required_software'>Required Software</ulink>
-                for information for other distributions used with the
-                OpenEmbedded project, which might be a starting point for
-                exploration.
-                If you go down this path, you should expect problems.
-                When you do, please go to <ulink url='&YOCTO_BUGZILLA_URL;'>Yocto Project Bugzilla</ulink>
+                for information for information about dependencies and
+                requirements.
